Homeless mom pleads not guilty to lying to enroll her kid in Conn. school

USA Today reports:

A homeless single mother pleaded not guilty today of stealing more than $15,000 from Norwalk, Conn., taxpayers by lying about her address in order to send her 5-year-old son to the city's elementary school, The Connecticut Post reports.

Tanya McDowell, 33, faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted of first-degree larceny conspiracy charges and stealing $15,686 worth of education.

This is an important issue. In the world without public education: this wouldn't be an issue.
